I think that the best way to explain that is that my mother gave me all the color and character and flare and liveliness, and my father gave me all the sanity and nature and all the things that helped me be a more rounded human being.
I play with my grandchildren. I tend to my garden, which I love. Of course, I love to read, and family is really what it's all about.
Sometimes I'm so sweet even I can't stand it.
My sense of the family history is somewhat sketchy, because my mother kept a great deal to herself.
